NEW YORK - In the various reports today, Howard Mills - the Republican running for U.S. Senate seat of Charles Schumer, scored a victory on substance in his effort to oust the senator.
In documents turned over to the the media, Mills reveals that on 603 seperate instances Schumer chartered private planes to take him - and all of it was on the tax-payer's dime. Schumer spent in excess of $409,000 in doing so - all from the public coffers.
In Illinois sources weighed in confirming that it is customary as well as financially responsible for Senator Peter Fitzgerald to fly commercially - and he always does. Sources were able to further confirm that neighboring senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania always flies coach class.
This is good news for our team but unfortunately the only way to defeat him in the ultra-liberal, socialistic New York would be if he was found in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.
If this were a republican, he'd get punished. But since this is a democrat, he will just be outraged at the person who blew the whistle on him and demand an appology.
I fail to see how either would be a problem for the overwhelming majority of "liberal" voters in New York.
New York will re-elect this steaming dog pile no matter what he does.
Where is the outrage. I remember when Sununu used a gov limo to go the NY and it cost him his job.You think Shumer has the $ to pay us back? Or as with all evil Dums does he think he's ENTITLED?
He would never treat the taxpayers like chumps while he does his best to disarm them. Honest.
Must be nice. I should go into politics. Right now I can't even afford a Greyhound ticket.
Darn, I thought it was going to be THAT Senator from New York.
They could have Fed Ex'ed them. Chelsea was more likely hiding out from the utter humiliation of having a father like Bill Clinton. God help those two sociopaths if Chelsea writes her memoirs...
I thought the same thing AFTER I posted my comment.
$409,000???
That can't be right. The math works out to $678.28 per flight. Where can you charter a plane for that little?
To remind you guys that you didn't corner the market on sleeze with Jim Wright.

BUMP
Oh, baby!
I want an investigation! I want a U.S. Attorney crawling up Schumer's butt!!!
LOL!
Yeah...that wasn't cool. I sat next to Kay Bailey Hutchinson on a Southwest flight from Lubbock to Austin once.
It doesn't suprise me at all, they take advantage of us constantly.
And we wonder why our side can't get the word out, we don't have access to public $$ as they do.
Where is the Attorney General on this, he should be investigating this Pronto !
